If the answer to all the above questions is yes, then read on my friend!! Comic book fans are everywhere nowadays and they naturally possess a very good and rich collection of comics which obviously, they like to show off..so what is better than displaying them in comic book frames? Nothing,I guess.
Collecting and displaying your comic books can be more time taking than actually reading them..it might seem even more important, too(to show off your collection to your friends and enemies..ahem, competitors…of course) You can find several creative solutions to display your collection while ensuring that they maintain their mint condition. Comic book frames are one way to go about it…these frames are just like photo frames with a cardboard coverings on the side and glass or plastic in the middle.
But you should know the pros and cons of framing your comics..in case you decide to go ahead with this idea.

- Frames are a great collection to a collector’s gallery.
- Some of the frames come in packs, so in case of a small number of comics, frames can prove to be pocket friendly.
- Mostly all comic book frames are UV(Ultra Violet) resistant.
- There are many frames that are eco-friendly..they are not made of non-renewable items.
- Almost all the frames are of very high quality.
CONS
- In case of a large collection, it is a very expensive process.
- After getting your comics framed, they needed to be carefully treated as the frame might break(specially in the case of glass frames). Fragile frames need to be preserved very ardently.
- Usually, these frames are available in limited sizes..so it is a little difficult to find the frames for the comics which are not of the standard size.
- Some of the frames are susceptible to scuff.
- Some frames are designed for bronze or modern age comics, so they are too small.
